Truth : Trump Did Warn Of ‘Bloodbath’ If Not Elected!
This appears to be another example of misinformation circulating on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Donald Trump Warned Of ‘Bloodbath’ If Not Elected
Let me start by pointing out that former President Donald Trump did indeed warn of a ‘bloodbath’ if he is not elected in the 2024 US Presidential elections.
He made those comments at a campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio, on 16 March 2024. Here is the transcript of his speech:
Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole – that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories.
So yes, Donald Trump did indeed warn or say that “it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country” if he doesn’t “get elected“.
Fact #2 : Donald Trump ‘Bloodbath’ Warning Was About Car Industry
That said, it is important to note that Donald Trump’s ‘bloodbath’ warning referred to the automotive industry, because it came after his comments on the car manufacturing plants China is building in Mexico:
Let me tell you something to China. If you’re listening President Xi and you and I are friends but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now. And you think you’re going to get that, you’re going to not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the cars to us no. We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those guys if I get elected.
To be clear – Donald Trump was warning of an economic bloodbath, and not a literal, violent bloodbath.

Fact #3 : Mainstream Media Did Not Misrepresent ‘Bloodbath’ Comments
Donald Trump is known for making inflammatory comments, so it is easy to see how people may believe that he was actually referring to a violent ‘bloodbath’. However, did the mainstream media really misrepresent his ‘bloodbath’ comments as suggested or claimed?
Not quite. Major media outlets, and even some political outlets, made it clear in their titles that Trump was referring to a bloodbath for the auto industry:
CNN : Trump warns of ‘bloodbath’ for auto industry and country if he loses the election
ABC News : Trump, while addressing auto industry, says there will be ‘bloodbath’ if he loses 2024 election, ramps up anti-migrant rhetoric
Daily Express UK : Donald Trump warns of ‘bloodbath’ for US auto industry if he is not re-elected
The Daily Beast : Trump Declares It Will Be a ‘Bloodbath’ for Auto Industry if He’s Not Elected
While other media outlets did not refer to the auto industry in their titles, they were clear in their articles that Donald Trump was referring to the automotive industry.
New York Times : Trump Says Some Migrants Are ‘Not People’ and Predicts a ‘Blood Bath’ if He Loses
While discussing the U.S. economy and its auto industry, Mr. Trump promised to place tariffs on cars manufactured abroad if he won in November. He added: “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a blood bath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a blood bath for the country.”
The Guardian : Trump predicts ‘bloodbath’ if he loses election and claims ‘Biden beat Obama’
The US, Trump insisted during comments about the auto workers and the car industry, was headed for “a bloodbath” if he was rejected again at the polls in favor of Biden.
It is very likely that those who have been complaining that the mainstream media was representing Trump’s ‘bloodbath’ comments did not actually read the articles.

Fact #4 : Trump Warned There Won’t Be Another Election
To be fair to those who think that Donald Trump was inciting violence again, he did suggest later that American will never have another election if he is not elected in 2024.
I don’t think you’re going to have another election in this country, if we don’t win this election … certainly not an election that’s meaningful.
While Trump appears to quickly backtrack on his remarks, his supporters and fans may not realise it, and may be incited to secure his election victory by hook or by crook.
